How to get CPU serial number using HISE?

[aaronventure]

You can fetch the MachineGuid that Windows creates on install using powershell. Here's how you do it in HISE:

const BackgroundTask = {};

BackgroundTask.getMachineGuid = Engine.createBackgroundTask("GetMachineGUID");
inline function getMachineGuid()
{
	local command = "reg";
	local args = 
	[
	    "query",
	    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography",
	    "/v", 
	    "MachineGuid"
	];
	
	local logFunction = function(thread, isFinished, data)
	{
		if (!isFinished)
		{
			var id = data.substring(data.indexOf("REG_SZ")+6, data.length).trim();
			
			Console.print(id);
		}

	};

	
	BackgroundTask.getMachineGuid.runProcess(command, args, logFunction);
}

getMachineGuid();

A bit silly function naming since it won't return anything, but you get the gist.

@aaronventure I've created an app that displays the system ID with the Engine.getSystemID() function. I was looking for something that displayed the items in the system that were used to create the numbers.
Ultimately, it looks like there's a fix available from JUCE. Looking forward to the update
